Estimating sex specific apparent survival and dispersal of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius)

Ornis Fennica, 2015
Sex differences in survival have consequences to population dynamics making information on sex specific survival important. In birds, females often have lower survival than males, and one of the main mechanisms is considered to be differential reproductive investment.

Breeding populations of Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius and Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula in the United Kingdom in 2007

Bird Study, 2019
Capsule: The 2007 national survey of the UK breeding population of Little Ringed Plovers shows a further spread into Scotland and Wales since the previous survey in 1984. In contrast, there has been a significant decrease in the Ringed Plover breeding population.

Chewing Lice From the Wings of Migrating Shorebirds: Diversity, Host Specificity, and Associations With Host Body Condition. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the diversity, prevalence, and abundance of chewing lice in 1403 individuals representing 20 migratory shorebird species from the families Charadriidae and Scolopacidae, identifying 26 louse species through microscopy and DNA barcoding.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on <i>Myricaria germanica</i> in northern Italy. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these

Bill Length of Non-breeding Shorebirds Influences the Water Depth Preferences for Foraging in the West Coast of India. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Body size, bill length and shape determine the foraging techniques, habitat selection and diet among shorebirds. In this study, water depth preferences of different shorebirds with different bill sizes in various habitats were investigated between 2017 and 2020.

Coastal Shorebirds Delay Maturity More Than Inland Ones. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Migratory shorebirds frequenting coastal non‐breeding habitats delay maturity, as expressed in the age of first return migration, more than the species using inland freshwater habitats. ABSTRACT Delaying the age of first breeding will lower lifetime reproductive output unless compensated for by increased fecundity or survival.

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Birds of Berlin: Changes in communities and guilds in the urban park "Tiergarten" since 1850. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Abstract Urbanization has far‐reaching consequences on birds, and knowledge of the impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity is necessary to make cities as compatible as possible for species. Avian diversity in parks in urban centers has been investigated multiple times, but rarely so in long‐term studies due to lacking data.

Do the weaknesses and strengths of experts and local volunteers affect the conservation actions focused on nesting plovers? Constructive considerations from the Italian beachfront line

Avocetta, 2020
Both the high-level strategies promoted by experts of public Conservation Agencies, and the small-scale tactics implemented by local conservation groups show strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that can affect the effectiveness of the ...
